it's got to be changed. now, there's one more thing -- i rulely would like for my colleagues to focus on and i'll wrap up at this point. but it's really, really important. the question is, when you have debt equal to $17 trillion, does it impact the economy now? yes, it puts us at risk for some sort of fiscal crisis, if there is a collapse in europe, a collapse in japan, a quoll lapsn china. it could kick us off in a major financial disaster in the united states. but the question is, does the debt that we have now slow growth today, mr. president? and i think that's a really important issue. and so we've done the research on it. the issue was originally raised by rogoff and reinhart. they've done a number of studies, wrote a big book on it, about all the nations that go into default and have had debt crises over the last 100 years. it is a thoroughly respected work of two highly competent and proven, respected economists. i think harvard and i'm not sure where ca carmen reinhardt is frm as a professor. when

times change, conditions change, circumstances change and we need to modify the bill and do things that recognizes some of the new realities and that's what we have done here. so i'm hopeful that we can get support for this, this amendment. i don't think it's really a heavy lift at all for anyone to support it. as i said, and i will repeat and repeat and repeat and keep repeating, there's not an extra -- no new money, no more than what's in the underlying bill. it's basically the same as what we hammered out in december through long negotiations. and hopefully maybe a little easier for my republican colleagues since there's not any money in there for the implementation of obamacare, something i didn't agree with but that's -- that's life and that's the compromises and things that one has to make around here. but the other stuff in this bill is vitally important to the health, the welfare, the education, safety of the american people. so i hope that -- that the amendment will pass. and i ask my colleagues for their support. and, mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that an explanatory
